Sonny Gray made history on Sunday night and nearly made it unforgettable. The Red Sox righty punched out his two thousandth career strikeout and carried a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Yankees, only to watch New York claw back and force extra innings. Boston held on to complete the four-game sweep, but Gray's night deserved a better ending.
Over in the WNBA, Portland and Washington gave us something that'll be talked about for a while. The Fire and the Mystics went four overtimes on Sunday, tying the record for the longest game in league history. In the middle of all that madness, Portland's Carla Leite put Shakira Austin on skates with a handle that had no business being that filthy. Pure highlight reel stuff in a game that had everything.
And at Hazeltine, Nelly Korda gave herself a real shot at a third straight major to open the season. She made the turn within three of the lead at the Women's PGA Championship, grabbed a birdie on ten, but couldn't close it out on a brutal Sunday wind. She's looking ahead to the next two majors now, and honestly, the rest of the field should be worried.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
